We examined whether or not parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTH‐rP) is produced in cultured human myeloma cells. PTH‐rP protein was detected in the cell extract of one (U266) of 6 myeloma cell lines examined by radioimmunoassay. Also we demonstrated the expression of PTH‐rP mRNA in all of the 6 lines. These findings indicate that PTH‐rP may be one of the factors responsible for the bone destruction or hypercalcemia in multiple myeloma. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
